Another shot of the Chalice. It got bumped so part of it broke off

And finally some kind of favia that's super highlighter green. This is what it looks like with no actinics. Excuse the twisty tie. Admittedly these pics were not a proper "photography" session it was more, "I got new stuff let me hurry and shoot before I get too lazy".

    Answer me this... do favias like the green one have to go on the sand? Because I want to put it up on the main rock structure. I just don't want to burn it (midway up in the tank.) Same question for the chalice. Midway up the tank too high for a chalice?

    You should take out that twist tie, it has metal inside.

    Any new coral should start low in the tank and move up gradually over time. Even a week on the sand is better than nothing at all. Glad to see a picture update of your tank finally.

    Hopefully you'll shoot a new image of the fungia plate. It's too fuzzy to appreciate this time.

    I have my favia low. Just an inch or two off the sand but on the rocks.

    From what I understand, chalice's are rather low light, and would likely do best low in the tank or shaded. :-)

    Very nice pictures. Now I want a yellow CUC! haha.

    my favia likes the bottom of the tank, and had better coloring under pc lighting than under my current t5's.

    Oooh, got a full tank shot?

    thanks guys! I was hoping you'd say otherwise since my tank only has 2 levels. Middle and high. But I may break down and put it on the sand.

    Marc I took the twisty out of course. I'm not happy with the full tank quite yet, even with all these corals it still feels empty. I wish my little zoa frags would fill in.

    look like your getting it filled up, at least you got some Coraline going for you I cant get mine to take off in the display tank to save my life. I feel you on the empty tho my 15 frags in a 180 is like driving thru Utah
